The next time you get a headache, don’t reach for the pills first thing! You can make that headache go away with the natural healing power of peppermint and lavender oils. This headache-banishing balm is made from all-natural ingredients like beeswax, grapeseed oil, and essential oils so you can feel good about using it to cure a headache whenever you need to.
Peppermint essential oil is amazing for pain relief. It has a cooling effect that you can feel instantly when applied to the temples. This cooling sensation can help soothe a headache in a matter of minutes.
Lavender is also great for soothing headaches. Its scent is very calming and can help calm any stresses that may be contributing to the headache. Lavender oil is so helpful for headaches that in a study, 74% of participants who inhaled lavender oil when they felt the start of a migraine noticed a significant improvement in their symptoms.
This headache balm contains both peppermint and lavender to help soothe your headache pain and help you feel calm and well again. Keep a container of the balm in your purse, your desk, or your gym bag so you can have relief whenever you need it! You could even pour it into an empty lip balm tube to make it super easy to apply.
The really handy thing about this balm is that, after applying it, you dont have to keep reapplying it to soothe the pain. You can rub your temples throughout the day and the rubbing will reactivate the cooling sensation and the calming scent.
The beeswax in this recipe gives the balm a solid yet easily spreadable texture. It also ensures that you dont have a greasy-looking forehead after putting it on like you would if you just used the plain oils! Its perfect for rubbing onto your temples whenever you feel a headache coming on. To get the perfect consistency, it’s best to weigh your ingredients. This way, you make sure that you have the 2:1 ratio of carrier oil to beeswax so your balm wont be too stiff or too soft. You can easily do this using a small kitchen scale.
Whip up a jar or two of this balm so you have all-natural relief at the ready!
DIY
Headache-Banishing Balm
PrintIngredients
- 1oz of carrier oil (almond, grapeseed, avocado, or fractionated coconut oil are all good options)
- 0.5oz beeswax
- 6 drops of lavender essential oil
- 20 drops of peppermint essential oil
- In a double-boiler, or a heat-safe bowl placed on top of a pot of boiling water, heat together the beeswax and carrier oil until fully melted. Remove from the heat and whisk in the essential oils.
- Quickly pour into a clean container. You can use anything that will hold about 2 tablespoons of liquid; a recycled baby food jar or a couple lip balm tubes work well. Let it cool until completely solidified.
- To use, rub your finger on the balm then massage onto your temples. If you used a lip balm tube, you can apply the balm directly. You'll feel a cooling sensation that will help soothe your headache pain. Rub temples as needed to reactivate the balm.

Hi there!! I love your article. I suffer from chronic migraines and i will try this. I will report back to you once I have tried it. I have tried similar natural mints and oils on temples and found it help prevent them. It would be great to have non medicinal relief. Thank you again.

Hello.. what kind of coconut oil should i use to make the balm? Solid or in liquid state?
Hey Arif, The recipe suggests to use fractionated coconut oil which is in a liquid state but it’s preferred to buy specifically “fractionated coconut oil” instead of just using melted coconut oil 🙂 Rachel – Joyous Health Team
I often get tension headaches so I am anxious to try this Headache Balm using it now and feel the headache fading already!
Glad to hear it!
I’m here to tell everyone who are suffering from migraine headache that there is a treatment for it, I was ones a migraine sufferers for over 13 years, I always had migraine headaches 2 to 3 times in a week to an extent i lost one of my eye site for days, it was really hell for me, i visited different doctor for the treatment but all were singing the same song of no treatment for migraine, and I have taken different types of drugs, i spent all my money in drugs and health care centres, but still there were no avail, and I keep on praying to God to heal me from migraine headaches, but one day i was online doing research on how i can get treated on my headache and i found a testimony on how someone was been treated from migraine headache by Dr muzack of Africa with natural herbal products, at first i couldn’t believe him, but i was dying in pain and now I have no option again than to gives this same man a trial but i never knew it’s going to be the end of my headache i has been living with for years, the God who has done this for me will be praised for ever, that was how i contacted Dr muzack and he was humble and very understanding man, the way he spoke politely with me, that was when I knew that my problems is over, that’s was how he sends the drugs which was made from herbal products over to me here in Canada, I took the drugs as I was directed to, it’s over 7 months now and haven’t feel any pain like headache and I’m even stronger than ever and it has no side effect. Feel free to contact him directly on his email address tradomedicalhealer@gmail.com
Love this works very well
Have your an idea for vaginal itch oil or cream I can make?
Not really. I would focus more on diet. It sounds like it could be a yeast infection. I would focus on avoiding all forms of refined sugar and refined carbs, juice, pop, alcohol and eat tons of plant based foods like leafy greens, low-sugar fruits and healing foods like garlic, ginger, etc. I would recommend doing the Joyous Detox.
